An adverb indicating place—'there, in that place, at that location'; can also function temporally as 'then' in certain contexts, where location or existence in a particular place is at issue.

Can introduce spatial focus, designate spatial distance or presence, or serve as a demonstrative adverb of place or (rarely) of time.

to that place
| Morphological Notes | Adverb of place with directional ה (he locale) indicating motion toward a location. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שָׁמָּה includes the directional ה (he locale), indicating movement toward a location. Rendering it as "to that place" preserves its core spatial meaning and reflects the directional morphology rather than simple static position. |
